Women's Images Re-Edited: The Critical Remix Within Feminist Context

Abstract

One contemporary feminist critical remix practice is to subvert a male/female dichotomy. In this essay, I discuss current aspects of remix and re-editing criteria within feminist video works by women artists contextualized within feminist movements. I begin with a media critique of subverted women’s media images by remixing them from commodified constructs into a disclosure of gendered ideals. My analysis deconstructs sexism and racism in a male and female dichotomous social system that still exists as a tradition of White and Black image constructions within a post-colonial discourse.
